100 Words and a Picture


There are many untold stories behind the art that hangs in our gallery.

I would say, equally as interesting as the art itself.


How about telling your story, its easy and people want to hear it.

President's Blurb: June 2021

​I don’t profess to know where it is in the Bible, but suffice it to say, there is a parable that states you shouldn’t hide your talent under a bushel basket. With that belief, I wanted to let you all know that I have an exhibit of my mixed media work in the Vault at the Acadiana Center for the Arts.

I know I’m blowing my own horn, as they say, but anytime anyone has an exhibit, a hanging or a showing they should blow their own horn. And loudly. Let others know what you do and be proud of it. Also, do not be afraid of criticism. Everyone has an opinion and it’s true that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
As you may or may not know I also work at the Sans Souci Gallery. There are times when a customer will purchase an item that I find unattractive, to be nice about it. But, it’s not my purchase and it’s not my “eye.” No one should be told what they should like or dislike. I have a very good friend I’ve known for years, I even stood in one of his weddings. He doesn’t like my mixed media work. Does it bother me? No, not in the least. I don’t do it for him. Believe in yourself. Believe in what you do but also learn from constructive criticism. It will make you stronger and a better artist.

There is another message I need to impart. Due to Covid and the necessary separation, we’ve not had a general meeting of members. That’s coming to an end, and soon. The meeting will be June 27th so please plan to attend. As artists, we need to rub elbows… if that’s all we can do. It’s time to get back together.

​Your President of your LAA, Terry Palmer tpalmer@cox-internet.com
